Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly, then place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are fully submerged and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
Place the boiled potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously onto the flattened potatoes, making sure to coat them thoroughly for maximum flavor.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite protein or enjoy as a crispy, savory snack!
